FAST FACTS
"The Cayenne Coupe will always be on the pricier side of the spectrum, but good luck arguing it's not worth the stretch. There's an inbuilt sense of heft, quality and capability in this rig that sets it apart, even if the base model's 5.4-second gallop to 60 mph seems underwhelming at $90k. Should you spend an extra $20k or so to get into the V8-powered Cayenne S? That's another hard argument to press, but we think the silky twin-turbo V8 is worth every penny."—Ranked #1 out of 4 Midsize Luxury SUV Coupes
"Although even the base Cayenne Coupe qualifies as a performance SUV due to its capable handling, you could argue that a zero-to-60 time in the mid-fives doesn't fully get the job done in this company. That's where the Cayenne S Coupe comes in with its 468-horsepower twin-turbo V8, which drops the benchmark sprint all the way down to 4.4 seconds. It ain't cheap, but we doubt there are many Cayenne S Coupe owners who wish they'd settled for the base V6. You could spend even more on the Cayenne GTS Coupe, but it's got essentially the same engine as the S and less sound insulation. We'd stick with the S and keep the change."—Ranked #1 out of 3 Midsize Performance SUV Coupes

You might be wondering how the base Cayenne Coupe gets to 60 mph three-tenths of a second quicker than the regular base Cayenne, even though the Coupe is mechanically identical and weighs more. Great question! The answer lies with the Sport Chrono package, which includes launch control and comes standard on even the entry-level Cayenne Coupe, whereas it's an option on the base Cayenne. Those three-tenths simply show you how much of a difference launch control makes. If you don't turn launch control on (i.e., under normal circumstances), the Coupe and the regular Cayenne will be neck-and-neck.
We're confused by the Cayenne Coupe E-Hybrid. EPA estimates weren't available as of this writing, but all indications point to an electric range of less than 25 miles for this luxury plug-in hybrid SUV. What's the point of all that added weight and complexity if that's all you're getting on the EV front?
Just like the base Cayenne Coupe, the V8-powered S Coupe beats the regular Cayenne S by three-tenths to 60 mph, and for the same reason: Sport Chrono (with launch control) comes standard on the Coupe but is optional on the standard Cayenne. In any case, we're not enamored of the Cayenne Coupe's styling, but this turbo V8 is so good that it might make us forget about that. It's the one to have in this lineup.
Although the Cayenne Coupe S E-Hybrid bumps up the power output a bit, its acceleration to 60 mph barely improves. Given that it shares the regular Coupe E-Hybrid's modest battery pack, we can assume that EV range, projected to be 20-25 miles for the standard model, will not improve. This all might make sense as a way to get around emissions tolls in European city centers, but it's a head-scratcher on our shores.
The Cayenne GTS Coupe is only quicker to 60 mph than the regular Cayenne GTS because launch control comes standard (via the Sport Chrono package). The GTS Coupe actually outweighs the standard GTS by about 70 pounds, so if anything, we'd expect the non-Coupe to nose ahead with launch control.
If we had to choose a Cayenne Coupe hybrid, this one would win easily. The V8 really brings this SUV to life, and although the same is true of the V8 in the regular Cayenne S, the question was which hybrid we'd have, right? Of course, if the hybrids had 50 miles of range rather than something in the 20s, we'd be having a very different conversation.
The Turbo GT is on a whole different level, barely needing 3 seconds to hit 60 mph.
